Other cool off-road pictures and stuff

This is a fun game we call Pachinko. First, you need a dry lake bed. The bigger the better. Second,

you need a cooler FULL of beer. Third, put the truck in 4-low, first gear, and jump in the back. 

Fourth, shoot the shit and drink beer with your pals. You can't get busted for drunk driving because 

nobody is driving. Why is it called pachinko? Well, when you run out of lakebed you start bouncing off 

bushes and hills, loosing a bunch of drunk fools out the back. Good clean fun, I say...

Abandoned, this 'ol Dodge Power Wagon dually was out in the desert for many, many years..

So many times I  wish I had the time and money to bring her back to life. The motor still

had clean oil in it. It wasn't even a quart low.
